And yet, by not just saying "Look, we need to negotiate with Russia", but literally "We don't give a fuck about Ukraine, and we'll end the war in 24 hours" (meaning, if we are to take them at their word, very likely agreeing to the vast bulk of Putin's stated terms, including his demand for recognized sovereignty on the territories he is claiming) -- they are in effect signaling a promise to fully legitimize Putin's war aims, thus championing his very much "war-like" style of conflict resolution.
